Something's Brewing

Please note I'm currently working on the new site. I didn't want to take the site offline though, so you can still visit it. However me working on the site while it's still online means a lot of the pages will appear wonky. But not to worry, it won't take too long.

The Sims Livin' Large Comic Strip - The Chemistry Set

Little Frankie has always wanted to be a scientist. It's all he talks about.

But he needs an experimental subject. His guinea pig has gotten rather uncooperative lately.

Just then, Rick Stein comes downstairs. The espresso machine is broken AGAIN! "Frankie, tell your mother to order a new one. I just don't have time to fix it." And off he goes to work.

Surfing the Livin' Large website, Frankie gets an idea. "What are you doing, honey?" "Just ordering the new espresso machine Dad wanted. Mom, what's our credit card number?"

When the Concoctanation Station arrives, Frankie sets it up in the kitchen where the espresso maker used to be.

The next morning, Rick comes downstairs in a grumpy mood. "Where's my coffee! The carpool's here!" "The espresso machine's all ready to go, dad!"

Rick fiddles with the new machine, and a blue liquid fills his cup. Blue coffee? Rick just shrugs. He's had worse at the office.

Wow, that is some great coffee! Rick feels like the king of the world. Off to work!

A promotion! Rick has been a productive dynamo all day at work, and the boss noticed.

While Mom and Dad celebrate the great news, Frankie makes some adjustments to the "espresso machine". He has a new formula to try.

The next morning, Rick's "coffee" is pink. Hmm, must be a little off. Well, no time to figure out why -- carpool's here! Down the hatch!

Oh no! Something's come over him! He's tearing the place apart! There goes the TV! Little Frankie takes notes. This is his best experiment ever. Tomorrow's coffee: green.
